Now that didn’t took so long — the HP Mini 311 is now available and selling for Php28,990 in Complink and eHub stores. This according to a couple people who bought it this week-end and left comments here.
So I called up two branches of Complink (SM North EDSA and Park Square 1) to confirm this and they indeed have it on stock.
At 0% interest for 12 months installment, the HP Mini 311 has the ff. specs:
HP Mini 311
11.6″ display screen @ 1366 x 768 pixels
Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz
NVidia Ion LE
1GB DDR3
160GB SATA HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g
HDMI port
5-in-1 card reader
Altec Lansing speaker
6 cell Li-Ion battery
What’s a bit confusing is that the sales ladies both quoted me a different model. One said it’s 1001 while the other said its 113. The official SKU is 311 on HP’s website. They were correct with the 11.6″ and the Php29k price though.
Will be dropping by one of the stores to check it out and probably get one for review. Hopefully, they have options to upgrade the HDD and the RAM.
Updated: Forgot to include the external DVD+RW Drive that comes with the package price.
I just couldn’t leave your website before telling you that I truly enjoyed the top quality info you present to your visitors? Will be back again frequently to check up on new posts…
Thanks!
But may I know how’s your HP mini 311…? I really can’t get over it.. hehehe…
Thanks!
Can you please recommend something? Any netbook or even a laptop that’s just about the same price as he HP mini 311, and the specs is about the same or maybe even better… I prefer those with screen size of about 11-13″… Thank you so much!
@meph – Lenovo X100e, Asus Eee PC 1201N, MSI Wind U230
i agree…. :)
Hello!
@Yuga… So, after a few months of using the HP Mini 311, do you still think that’s it’s worth it to buy that compared with other netbooks or even laptops in the market? I really like the specs of this netbook but I’m really confused as well. I was thinking that if I would buy this with that price, maybe it would be better to buy a full blown laptop with better specs with just about the same price. Can you please help me decide…
Thanks a lot!
@meph – at this point, there are so many other netbooks and CULV notebooks that worth better than this at its price point.
I agree with Tsais.. We only want the unit.. We don’t need that windows 7 starter.. and also that ODD.. Consumers are being force to buy extra peripherals just to have the unit..
I expected a somewhat increased price in the Philippines, but the price of 28,990 PHP is beyond all reason…the computer goes for $319 on HP’s U.S. website. At current exchange rates, 28,990 PHP converts to $616…
Apparently, its unwise to buy computers in the Philippines, yipes!
@tsais – there’s no tax in the US if you bought it online. In the Philippines, there’s customs tax and there’s 12% VAT so there goes your price discrepancy. Also include foreign exchange surcharges (around 2-5%). Is the one in the US also come with a DVDRW?

I’m planning to get a globe wimax over the dsl broadband that globe offers. Just wanted to know if any of you guys has tried their service and w/c is a better deal. Also they say that the modem kit will come w/ a SIM for both plans. Can this be used w/ the hp mini 311 and do i have to tweak it to be wimax ready.
